We’re all in this together in a way, what becomes normalized in one country risks coming for you one day. Do you notice how other countries have Trump copycats? In fact Trump has learned a lot from Hungary. So when something bad happens in one country we must stand against it no matter where we are because sooner or later if we don’t it will come for us.

Don’t really care, I am a Swede in Sweden, with no desire to visit the US in the forseeable future.

Stop. You’re interfering with his sense of superiority.

Right, I better not tell him about chat control.
stoy@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
I am fully aware and horrified about chat control, I am doing my best to work against it, please see my other responses to understand what went wrong with my comment.
stoy@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
This entire comment chain is a just a mis understanding, I made a bad attempt at being edgy and note that I would not stop protesting ICE just because my account may be monitored.
I can now see how it fell flat, and I am sorry for the miscommunication.
stoy@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
Ok, clearly there has been a miscommunication here.
I was trying to say that I don’t care about if I am monitored, I will keep protesting ICE.
I did try and say it a bit edgy which was wrong, I can see that now.
I am sorry for the miscommunication.

Thank you so much for clarifying! Yes, now I understand it’s a powerful thought like they can’t stop me because I live in Sweden, I will keep protesting.
It reminds me of how many countries boycotted South Africa which helped end apartheid.

You have the same mindset of an average American. “Not my country, I don’t care if people die there”
stoy@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
No?
I thought I was pretty clear,I was trying to say that I don’t care about if they monitor my account, I will keep protesting ICE on social media

the most american comment in the thread. bravo.
stoy@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
Only due to a mistake, my intention was to to try and show solidarity with the people actually affected by ICE, by saying that I didn’t care if ICE monitored my posts, that it would not prevent me from protesting further.
As I woke up this morning, I realized my mistake and have tried to rectify it.
Nima@leminal.space 2 months ago
then I apologize as well. I read that other comment completely wrong.
stoy@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
I am happy to accept being the most in the wrong, it is not unreasonable to read it that way.

Ok, thanks for the update! We will cancel the BNB reservation we had waiting for you.
To be clear, this doesn’t change how we feel about you, carol.

Thank you for your service.
I wish more people that didn’t care responded with bs comments like yours.stoy@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
Fair, my comment was rude and arrogant, though I maintain that it was a (failed) attempt at showing contempt toward ICE, telling them that I will keep critisising even if they monitor my account.
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Cool. That’s a quality contribution to this disscussion. Really adds a layered nuanced perspective to the topic at hand.
GUYS! WE’RE GOING TO BE OKAY! STOY SAYS THEY DON’T CARE BECAUSE IT DOESN’T AFFECT THEM!!! WE’RE SAVED!!!

You don’t seem quite comfortable with the idea of non-Americans giving as much of a fuck about America as Americans give about anyone else.
b_tr3e@feddit.org 2 months ago
What’s your problem? Tho OP is perfectly right: We are going to be okay. It was not us who elected Trump, after all.

Nor do I live in Sweden. Might there even be more than two countries? Questions over questions…
stoy@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
Sigh, I truly meant it as a a way of saying that I don’t care if I am being monitored, I will keep protesting and posting about them.
